Well the last time I bought books, I bought six of them, and I can't remember which one rang up last. For the record they were Diary, Blood Meridian, One Hundred Years of Solitude, The Glass Bead Game, The Magus

it's a good short story, too.

A Separate Peace nearly ended a friendship between myself and a friend in high school. Apparently she identified with the loner, and saw me as the outgoing one. I was like, "WTF??? You're saying you'd like to push me out of a tree???"

I read Ender's Gamne in college in my Literature for Children class. Personally, I think that is a book much more for adults, but what do I know?

You're Finny!

I was introduced to Ender's Game in high school. It's very much a book with which kids identify...or at least a certain type of kid. My friends and I did, and one of my brothers certainly has.

I definitely think boys would identitfy with it, it just seemed really dark to me.
Of course that was before Harry Potter - a series which gets increasingly darker, cruel and more scary with each installment. Were I to re-read Ender's Game now, I think my outlook on it would not be as surprised.

That's crazy, the last short story *I* read what A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings. If you say you read it in an old lit book you bought for a college class, I'll have to figure out something very drastic to do.

I, uh, actually read it in an old lit book I bought for a college class. The book's called "Fictions" and I do love it so.
